YOU CAN LOVE WHAT YOU'VE BUILT

YOU CAN LOVE WHAT YOU'VE BUILT

AND STILL QUESTION WHETHER IT FITS

AND STILL QUESTION WHETHER IT FITS

That doesn’t make you ungrateful.
It doesn’t make you weak.
It doesn’t mean you’re about to burn it all down.

It might just means you’re paying attention.

LOVE MONDAY

Love Monday is where I write about that tension.

It’s a weekly essay for ambitious women who are thoughtful, capable, and honest enough to admit when something feels heavy.
It’s about:

Ambition without self-abandonment.
Gratitude without pretending.
Autonomy without isolation.

Every Monday, I write one essay about the quiet tension of building a full life.

No productivity blueprints.
No hustle hype.
No dramatic reinventions.

Just perspective.
A little humor.
And the occasional nudge to ask better questions.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I chose this… so why does it feel heavy?”
“I’m proud of this… so why do I want something different?”
“I have freedom… so why do I feel pressure?”

You’re not alone in that.



If you're paying attention, you're already halfway there
